Manchester United step up Alexis chase

Manchester United are ready to go for broke in a bid to return to the top and have set their sights on a double raid on Barça. Juventus are also interested in Alexis and are planning an ¤18 million bid for the Chilean forward, whom they will offer a deal worth ¤4 million a season. The Red Devils could match these figures and are willing to shell out over ¤30 million to land full-back Alba.
